Chapter 297 Gavin Learns To Cook
“We can help you wash the steak and vegetables. In fact, we even know how to prepare the eggs!”
Just as Zachary spoke, he began to get his hands dirty.
As for the other four children, they too joined in to help.
Arissa was amused. “Be careful. Don’t cut yourself on the bone.”
After the steak was sliced, she proceeded to wash the chicken and cut it into small pieces.
“Mommy, isn’t it exhausting for you to prepare so many dishes alone?”
Watching Arissa, Gavin was astounded by her knife skills.
Arissa glanced at her son. “Not at all, they’re not difficult dishes to prepare anyway.”
“Mommy, if it’s too much for you, you can get Mr. Whitley to help,” Gavin suggested attentively.
“Hmm, but I have sent out him to buy roast chicken. Anyway, it’ll just take me an hour to do all this.”
“Mommy, do you want to cook the pasta now?” Oliver asked.
When Zachary was being squeezed by Jasper and Jesse, he decided to back away and let the three of them do it.
“Hmm. Yes we can.”
Looking around the kitchen, Arissa pointed her son to a pot.
“I’ll get it!” Gavin seized upon the opportunity.
Breaking into a smile, Oliver teased Gavin, “Do you even know how to do it?”
“I can always learn!” Gavin blushed.
Arissa looked at them in amusement. Given that Gavin was raised by Benjamin, he had probably never done any chores in his life.
“Oliver, stop making fun of Gavin! Have you forgotten about the time you burned the pasta?” Arissa reminded him of his embarrassing history.
Gavin’s eyes lit up. “So, you have never done it before either!”
Oliver felt awkward. “But I know how to do it now.”
“In that case, teach me!” Gavin had stopped teasing him.
Oliver nodded.
“All right then. Mommy, how many cups of water do we need to boil the pasta?” Oliver asked as he let Gavin handle the pasta.
Arissa turned to look. “Let me see how big the cup is.”
